Any truth to rumors that Brad Jones may be on the Chargers radar at ILB. I think we still need some help filling spots before the draft and ILB is a need. It would be nice to get someone like jones who would be fairly cheap and servicable (I use this word way too much)._________________gotta win the lottery so I can move back to San Diego

Better go for one of the Williamseses. There's something about that name that just screams defensive tackle.

Jesse is really overrated IMO. Sylvester isn't a NT.

Depends on the scheme for Sly. Thing is, I don't believe Pags has been asking out NG to 1-gap all that much, so that kind of takes Sylvester out of the mix. He could actually be a solid 1-gapping NT, not 2-gapping though._________________

Not sure, it'll hurt this year, but i'm not sure how it will hurt us long run, Franklin is close to running on fumes, and i think we're trying to build for long term right now, even look at the guys we signed, Cox is 26, Phillips is 25, Woodhead is 27/28, Rinehart is 27. Looks like we're not building to win this year, but we're building up for the near future (probably 2 years down the road)._________________

I wasn't being serious with my previous comment. I just thought it was weird how many good DTs recently have been named Williams... and on top of that there's three more projected to be Day 1 or 2 picks.

Speaking of Gehlken, what is the deal with the UT's reporting of Gaither's contract? They said last year that he had $13.5M guaranteed, which would mean that this year's base salary is fully guaranteed, right? Gehlken is now saying that cutting Gaither would clear his base salary from the books. Which is right?

There's a posibility that that was "guaranteed" based on his health, or there was some clause in the contract that if he ended up on IR they would be able to clear him from the books or something like that._________________
